I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
For His eye is on the sparrow ...
And I know he watches me.
That was one of MY Mom's favorites, too! And it's such a great song to sing, it really soars just like a sparrow should!

Spread your wings, Mom...
You can Soar with the Eagles and Angels now!
Rest In Peace, Mom.
Love Ya!
Phred though those who are left still must mourn, in the words of St. Paul....."Absent from the body to be present with the Lord." Grandmom is in a beautiful place. {{{hugs}}}
So sorry to hear of your great loss.... but like Cinder and Smokey pup so tenderly put it.... she is in a wonderfully better place now. And one day we all will meet again. I love that hymn too... and I know she hears you singing it in your heart for her..
{{{{ HUGS }}}}}
I am so very sorry!
With a heavy heart,
You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers.
I know this is extremely late, but I thought it might be good to bump this anyway incase anyone else was away for the holidays and missed it.
Phred, Cinder, Smokey & Boots. I'm so, so sorry to hear about GranMom. :( It's true she is in a better place, but that doesn't stop the you from missing her. She, indeed, must have been a special lady to have raised such a special son.
You guys and your GranMom are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope she had lots of fun wrapping all them presents, and is now visiting with all her friends that she hasn't seen for awhile. Someone told me long ago "Instead of mourning for their death, rejoice for the wonderful life they led, and the time you had together, for it will remain with you forever."
Rest in Peace, GranMom.
:( :(
I remembered those pictures, Phred, when I read this news, plus all the stories of the adventures to visit Grandmom that you had with Cinder and Smokey. I thought what a lucky lady she was to have a family (including Cinder and Smokey) who loved her so much. She obviously was a wonderful lady and I know you will miss her so much.Quote:

Please accept my apologies for being so late in responding to this. But know that you and your "kids" are in my thoughts and prayers.

Phred, I somehow missed a reply to this thread. You have my belated sympathy in the passing of GranMom. I think you have many many good memories of her. We miss you posting more often with your stories Phred so post when you can.
